Editorial
Cellular analysis goes live For biomedical researchers working with cell culture, an accurate, real-time reading of progression and confluency (density) in cell populations is their ultimate objective. The information gleaned from imaging these samples is valuable in understanding cell proliferation and functionality at its most fundamental stages as well as tracking specific therapeutics in the tissue of patients. If...

Medical lasers: Defining what to measure Medical lasers are increasingly being used as vehicles for the precise delivery of energy in a variety of applications. The laser beam itself can be used as a treatment tool, cutting specific tissue at the required depth. It also serves as a production tool for the manufacturing of medical components, such as for the cutting and welding of implants. In any of these instances, it is vital to...

Color shopping — how cuttlefish camouflage Scientists have long believed that when cuttlefish camouflage in response to danger, they physiologically choose a color pattern from a limited number of pigmentation schemes to best match their surroundings. But a team of researchers from Asia and Europe has determined it to be a far more complicated process than that. Rather than selecting colors from a limited number of patterns, the common...
